Shane Gillis recently broke the world record for the most tickets sold for a solo comedy show, but his mom missed the historic event while vacationing in Europe. Shane Gillis Reveals His Mom Missed His Record-Breaking ShowOver 73,000 people took to Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia last month as Shane Gillis made history by setting two Guinness World Records for the largest live audience for a standalone comedian and the most tickets sold for a solo comedy show. However, he has now revealed that one special seat remained empty throughout the event — the one reserved for his mom. “Oh, my mom didn’t go to the show,” he told Fallon, referring to his performance. “I definitely wouldn’t have changed what we did on our podcast,” Gillis told Von.
